Answer:

There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there

Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f

6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)

Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)

8:5 = s/f

8/5 = s/f

8f = 5s

f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

6s + 4(5s/8) = 816

6s + 5s/2 = 816

Multiply through by 2

12s + 5s = 1,632

17s = 1632

s = 1632/17

s = 96

f = 5s/8

f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60

The parent function f(x)=x^3 is transformed to g(x)=x^3+2 and to h(x)=(x+2)^3. both transformations involve the same constant, b
Temka [501]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^3\\g(x)=x^3+2

The added 2 to the end of the equation suggests a shift 2 units upward.

<em>SEE IMAGE #1</em>

f(x)=x^3\\h(x)=(x+2)^3

A 2 added directly to the x variable which is cubed alongside the x suggests a shift 2 units to the left.

<em>SEE IMAGE #2</em>

The first image shows your first translated function, the second image shows your second translated function. Your parent function [f(x)] is in red, your child functions are in blue.

Transformations within the parantheses are opposite than you may think:

Adding a number within parantheses suggests a shift to the left (more negative), while subtracting a number within parantheses suggests a shift to the right (more positive).

IM LITERALLY ALMOST DONE CAN SOMEONE PLS TELL ME WHAT THE SURFACE AREA FORMULA IS FOR THIS FIGURE I'VE MISSED THIS TIME AND TIME
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each circle is pi*r*r (pi r squared)

So 2*pi*r*r

The top of the rectangle if just the circumference of the circle = 2*pi*r

So the area of the rectangle is 2*pi*r*h

So the total area =2*pi*r*r+2*pi*r*h
